On Thursday evening Occurreu oheol lIe
most delightful and elegant social enter
tainments ever given in the city. 1t was
q stag party given by Mr.. Louis s. Della
plain, ,Jr., to u nun Der of his gentlemen
friends, at the handsome residence Of his
mother on Chapline street. From 9
o'clock till IL the young gentlemen
amused themselves by card playing;
smoking, and singing, or i'll any way they
desired, while the Olympic quartette sang
a number of songs in their w~ell-known
style. At IL o'clock the card tables pre-
sented q changed appearance, and the
players, instead OF feeding the hunger OF
the mind with excitement, were busily
engaged in catering to their well whetted
appetites withIan elegant menu consisting
of salads, cold meats, oysters, &c., &c,
with all the accessories, followed by au
appetizing finale of light refreshments, q
c~ommendable feature being the absence OF
anything to drink stronger than coffee.
Cigars were then in order, and it may he
truly said it would be hard TO find u hap.
pier, more contented set Of young gentle
men in the world than these, and each full
dress suit looked o great deal fuller and
ever more swell than before. A number
of songs were sung, after which one OF tine
young gentleman with a decorated potato
masher for u gavel called the meeting to
order, after which a President, Secretary
and two Sergeants-at-Arms were elected.
Then followed Il scene of fun better i'm
agined than described. Pretty soon the
front door bell was rung vigorously aud
the report came in that two young ladies
were at the door and the boys became still
rs mice. An emiSsary came in bearing q
perfumed envelope containing n missive
which wa ordered read. 1t was a letter
from a number of young ladies, who, in o
set of resolutions, expressed their disap-
prevail of the selfshncsS of the young men
in excluding them. They were read amid
much merriment and ordered spread upon
the minutes Of the meeting. A
self-cOnstituted Committee on ReSo-
lutions then reported that after
due consideration it had come to the
conclusion that it would be advisable to
put another ticket put in the field of city
politics, and presented n ready prepared
ticket which was endorsed by reclamation,
after which each candidate was compelled to
make q speech. A resolution which re-
solved that although the dear girls are
not with us tonight, we will continue to
love them rs heretofore, with all the
warmth and ardor of our young and un
blighted affections" was unani-
mOusly adopted. A resolution offered by
one rather old bachelor, to the effect that
the first member who committed matri-
mony be compelled to set them up to the
club, caused "a lively discussion, and after
some Vigorous opposition on the part of
two members who took pity on another, II
prospective Benedict, and who was too
much overcome to defend his
cause, the resolution was lost. And
thus the fun continued for
some time. When the meeting adjourned
it was for the purpose of doing a stag
~lancers, and il ever the lanCerS had every
thing in it brought out, it was done on
that occasion. At 100 a. III. the guests
babe their host farewell, after paying their
respects to Mrs. Delaplain and her charm
ing daughter, Miss Hulda. All were of
one opinion, that it was the most delight
ful entertainment they had attended for
some time.

About thirty couples were present, who
enjoyed themselves in various social
amuSements, dancing and card playing
being the principal features of the affair.
Prot. Charlie Killmeyer was ON hand and
o. course his music was irresistible, and
light feet were kept flying and merry
hearts thrObbing to the measures OF the
dance. When refreshments were served
by Ziegenfelder at IL o'clock all were pre-
pared to do them justice and they did.
